IMPRGVED KNIFE-GUARD.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom fit Imay concern Be it known that I, E. A. GoODns, of Ihiladelphia, in the county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a newv and improved Knife-Guard and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the salue, reference being,` had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

rIhis invention has for its object to provide a guardattachment for Vegetable-knives, whereby the paring may be gauged to any required thickness.

The invention consists of a wire guard-attachment, so shaped and arranged, relatively to the knife-blade, that it may be readily clamped to the blade by thunibnuts, screwing on to the ends of the wire, and against the 'hack 'edge of the blade, with the gauging-part adjusted along the edge at one side, parallel with it,

and the required distance for the thickness of the in the saine right-angular planes to the part A. The parts C are notched atv suitable distances, for thereception ofthe edge of the blade, `and the parts D are.screw-tlneaded, and thumb-nuts ll are screwed thereon.-

The edge of the blade beim.;` placedl in the notches of the'parts U, more or less distant froni the part. A

of the guard, :ulcer-llingl to the thickness of the paringr to be taken oti' the vegetable, and the back edge of the blade beingrr rested on the parts Dot `the guard, and the nuts screwed up against it, the clamp will be attached, 'ready for use', with the part A sufficiently'r above the cutting-edge to perlnit .the escape ot' the paring, while 1n'event'ing`the edge 4from cutting too deep.

- The point F of the blade projects sufficiently beyond vthe guard for use in cuttingo'ut the eyes of potatoes and the like. Y

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and .desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

rIhe wire guard A G I) E, constructed as described,

whereby it may be adjusted laterally from the knife B, asA herein shown, for the purpose specified.
